    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864

    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

Al Gore is the Anti-Groundhog

Posted on October 15, 2009 by Riley

When Algore pops his head out of the ground, expect Winter to make an early return.

That’s right, Algore (he of “Global Warming” fame… BRRRRRR…) has popped out of his hole to come and raise money for Creigh “What’s In Your Wallet?” Deeds tomorrow (Friday).  Still no word on whether any Buddhist Monks will be in attendance with large campaign contributions, though.

So, this coldsnap where Virginia temperatures are running about 20 degrees BELOW normal and many parts of the U.S. are experiencing an unusually early snow can all be blamed on the reappearance of Algore who has developed quite the reputation as being the anti-Groundhog where his emergence portends an early and harsh winter.

    Well, it explains why it’s only going to be about 43 today, and rainy. I thought Deeds wanted to create jobs, not destroy them? Having Al “these hands have planted and picked tobacco” Gore, speak at your event is a sure sign you are just a wacky person.

    Maybe someone can get Gore to say something about coal mining. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

    I wonder what kind of vehicle will be carrying Gore to this event.

    one that uses a lot of fuel and produces a huge carbon footprint carrying the lard butt Gore.
